Spine MRI: bulging discs in lumbar and thoracic, spinal stenosis in lumbar, degenerative disc disease.

Have you seen an Orthopedic Spine Surgeon/Neuro Surgeon regarding the bulging discs? If not you might consider it. Spine problems can cause Neurological type symptoms.

Also in 2018 - I been having sleep issues for just over a year now, which is a new symptom, scaring me..
My throat closes over in me my sleep, or body just stops breathing and I'm awaken with a rush of adrenaline, or cause I'm suffocating, or I wake up from a sniff or a snort
it feels like my my body forgets to breath..
It's every night and it's relentless..
I was Diagnosed with mild sleep apnea (hypopnea)
Was given cpap, it doesn't help at all. I still have all those sleeping issues at night

How long did you use the CPAP and did you wear it all night every night? Sleep Apnea means you stop breathing x amount of times when sleeping. When this happens your heart stops each time. Untreated sleep apnea puts you at a higher risk of a stroke or heart attack.
